What is Small Cell?

Small cells are low-powered radio access nodes that operate in licensed and unlicensed spectrum and have a range from a few meters to a few kilometers. They are used to improve mobile network coverage and capacity, especially in dense urban areas and indoors, by supplementing macro cell networks. Small cells can enhance user experience by providing faster data speeds and more reliable connectivity.
